I have a pair of 8500 10"s but I am trying to keep the weight down as much as possible and I don't need crazy bass or anything, it's a drag car.

I am going to run the L5 8"s and a Sony "1200 watt" amp because I have them laying aound collecting dust. I am probably just going to do... ho much air space do you think these need? like .75ft^3 per sub or...? lets just say port back, subs up, tuned to 37hz

Little more volume than that. Those square 8's have the effective cone area of pretty much a 10. Closer to 1-1.5 cubes each. Kickers like alot of space too.

I was thinking 1ft^3 each ot begin with but then I thought that might be a little too big... going to be wierd building a box this small...!

Actually, you weren't too far off. Kicker recommends .66 cu ft (minimum) to 1 cu ft. If you're trying to save on space, .75 should be fine. Might be hard achieving a reasonable tuning though with that small of a net volume though. Let's see some designs :)

This could be wrong due to the fact the program I am using only does .75-3" wood thickness. So I took off .25" from the demensions when I designed the box, not sure if that works or not... LOL

will sound decent but will it be removable for racing?
I'd prob do a bit more design for aesthetics but all will be well
I've been pleasently pleased with the few L5's I've installed for customers g/l

yes, it will be easily removeable for when I take it to the track... It just ****** this summer when I took it on the streets I didn't have ANY music. So, I have a JVC deck, sony amp, some coaxials and the L5's laying around and decided why not...only going to add like 7lbs~ (not including subs/box/amp) and in a 2400lb~, 600HP+ car I am not going to worry too much about that!

Well, I would like to do an aero/round port now rather than a slot port. How do I calculate how big of a port I need and how long.

I can get a aero or a 4" X 17" aero port tube or a 6" round port (PVC pipe)

its a '90... currently has a 5.0HO converted to carb, MSD ignition, HEI dist., LT headers, single plane hi-rise, Holley 650, NOS wet kit, Jacobs Nitrous Mastermind, 4.10:1 LSD, weight reduction, etc.... building a 408W for it right now but that won't be going in until I get a few more passes on the 302 this spring... 302 has me in the mid 10's already, should break 9's with the 408 and less squeeze

I was just getting on here to put that I found that site and got it figured out LOL... going with a 4" X 12~" flared port for 35hz-36hz
